THAT BOUNTY CASE.
The recent article in the ADVANCE
concerning the case brought by A. NJ.
Smith against the county commission
ers to recover bounty on tree planting
has been widely copied, as it raised
tho question as to the econstitutionality
OF all the bounty laws. There was one
error in our article in the words
''Other than tree claims.'
The action was brought to recover
bounty for the planting of trees by
Alpheus NJ, Mary b. and Elihu Smith
on their respective timber claims. un-
der Chap. 80; T.. J.. 1871. The county
contended that they were not entitled
to recover as the law did not contem-
plate paying for something it was their
duty to perform, and also that the law
VI 1871 was unconstitutional in this,
that the legislature had no power to
compel the counties to pay such boun-
~ without their consent, and also be.
cause the law did not comply with the
rule that all taxes should be equal, or
~ nearly equal as may be. Other
points were also raised by the defend
ant. The court in deciding holds:
l. That chapter 30 G.. l.. 1871 does
not provide bounty for the planting
and cultivation of timber trees, when
donefor the purpose Of securing the
title to lands by virtue of the timber
culture laws of the United States.
:. That said chapter is unconstitu-
tiOnal in that it seeks to impose an ob-
legation in the nature of a contract on
municipal subdivision of the state,
without its consent neces stating IN.
creased local taxation for u merely
private and local purpose in which the
state has no concern.
We learn that the case will 90 to the
supreme court for Il final decision.
Henry George's article on THE
New Party,' in the North American
Review, says the land question is
now in politics and lit is there to
stay" There is every indication that
''lhe new party' will havea candidate
in the field next year, and that it will
keep Oh until, like the Republican
party in 1860. it will slip into power
('etween the old parties.
At the present rate Of interest in
land. labor monopoly, money. social
and other questions, It will not require
~ much time as il took to carry the
republican party into power. Among
the changes which this new party will
inaugurate will be abolition of private
land titles, abolition vt the present
wages system and the introduction Of
co operation, and the abolition of the
present financial, banking, interest
and rent systems.
This will be u great stride toward
realizing the true system. which Jesus
endeavOred to introduce among his fol-
lowers and which Pythagoras intro
duced before him among his disciples,
viz: the system OF brotherhood
and affiliation.
The true system is about to be at
tempted on Il large scale, and that sys.
TEN is, Cooperation rs to all business
and property matters and Brotherhood
as to everything else.

1t is the duty of every person who
has used Boschee's German Syrup to
let its wonderful qualities be known to
their friends in curing Consumption,
severe Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneu-
monia, and in fact all throat and lung
diseases. No person can use it with.
out immediate relief. Three doses will
relieve any case, and we consider it the
duty of all druggists to recommend it
to the poor, dying consumptive at
least to try one bottle, as $4,000 dozen
bottles were sold last year, and no one
case where it failed was reported

tho western country. A large New
FOundland dog entered the village
tavern one cold morning in December,
and placing himself comfortably before
the fire in the public room made him
self at home. The landlord made sew
eral attempts to drive him away, but
Carlo wagged such strange appeals
that lie WAS permitted to remain. AS
no owner ever appeared to claim him,
the dog was soon established as one of
the household.
In the absence of the landlord he
watched the bar and the office. and
gave warning when any one entered.
Carlo had several peculiarities. When
lie first came to the village be was u
regular attendant ut the Baptist
church. When the bell rang for SER
vice he would march with stately tread
to the church and place himself before
the pulpit and there remain quietly AL
attentive wOrshiper until the benedic.
tion was pronounced. He went rs reg
ularIy to prayer meeting as to preach
ing never failing to know the call of
the church bell.
Carlos other peculiarity was that he
was republican. He was always
present at the primaries, the mass
meetings and the conventions of the
party. He WAS amOung the ]oudest in
his demonstrations of applause when
applause was proper. He was among
the most enthusiastic Of the audience.
But a change came over the spirit Of
Carlos dream. He ceased his atten-
dance ut the Baptist. and became a de-
voted wOrshipper at the Methodist
church. Nothing could induce him to
60 to the Baptist church. He changed
his politics also. and fOrsaking the
wigs he became an ardent democrat.
He was never missed from democratic
gatherings.
This strange conduct of Carlo was
the talk of the village, and many q
traveller was entertained with the story
of this wonderfully intelligent dog.
But suddenly Carlo quit his accustom-
ed haunts. He was seldom seen on the
hearth of the great fireplace of the
public room, and he was missed from
the church. It was evident to the
minds of the pious people that he had
become backslider. One day, how
ever, Carlo appeared at the village
drug store. Here his actions were as
unaccOuntable as had been his former
church going propensities. He put his
paws upon the counter and barked at
the druggist vociferously. The drug.
gist remembered that Carlos master
had been reported sick with severe
attack of catarrh. and knowing the
intelligence of the dog concluded that
he had either been sent or had come of
his own notion to get something to re.
lieve his master. The druggist tied
about Carlos neck package of Halls
Catarrh Cure, then the dog started
home in great glee. In day or two
Carlo and his master was on the streets
rs usual. The medicine had entirely
cured the master. and Carlo returned
to his old habits and remained q good
church. going Methodist and q demo
crat until his dying day.

A sure way to have good cows is to
raise them yourself.
Trim out the dead wood in currant
and gooseberry bushes.
Prune grape vines to two or three

Get out of the old ruts if they do not

Where hogs can be grown healthy

Good butter and cheese cannot be
made from the milk of COWS that are
